Yes, I am a photographer as well and I noticed the same when compared to my Xs max and was wondering if I've gotten a lemon.
I took a picture of my son indoors in a dark room with a lamp on with both my Xs Max and 11 Pro Max and the Xs Max photo looked a lot better. The photo taken with the 11 pro max was not only more noisy but underexposed as well!
Also, the night mode icon would not show up when using the telephoto lens. It only works with the wide lens!
Do you think the quality of video is better on the 11 pro max? Also, I was wondering which 3rd party apps do you prefer for editing pictures?
Thanks so much!
What even is a 'noisy' photo
Asking for a friend.....
Examples?Hello,
I know that deep fusion feature is still on the way and it will improve the camera results.
But I see so many great reviews about camera already and my personal experience with camera is not too different from iPhone XS.
my photos are coming out too noisy. Am I the only one that experiencing this? Could this be a “my phone only issue”?
And when is the deep fusion getting released in beta?
I only have 14 days to return the phone 😂
The best way to describe it is a grainy or peppered look to things. You’ll see it if you zoom in on the shadows, dark areas, and smooth walls. Like sprinkled pixels of different colors (if you zoom way in). A photographer can spot it in a second. It’s a common problem in low light photos, cameras with small sensors, cheap lenses, photos taken using high ISO, and software rendering or manipulation of photos in post processing. I’m leaning towards this being a software issue in regards to the iPhone 11pro where Apple is processing the images to be sharper with more contrast, and more detail, but with the limitations of the sensor, it’s creating digital noise in the shadows and smooth surfaces of the images because of that. I’m hoping if enough people notice it and complain about it, they might address it in a software update but the fact that they added a noise reduction slider to the new photos app leads me to think they want the user to determine the level of noise they feel comfortable with and control it themselves. Vs. the XS where the noise was nicely controlled but gave a softer image.What even is a 'noisy' photo

Ya I think that’s partially what they did. As well as some software rendering. I’ve been using the Metapho app to see what the ISOs are for some of the really noisy ones the ISO is bumped up quite a bit.on dslr for night photo, its always a compromise between shutter speed and ISO provided the aperture is fixed. i noticed on s10 they went with longer shutter speed but low iso. so the image isn't too noisy but require you to stand still longer, i guess on the iphone they went with high iso and fast shutter speed.
No, they are noisy and soft, looks over-processed. Perhaps stabilization caused some of the softness. I've noticed that on my 10 xs Max as well. Hey, it is what it is, a decent point and shoot camera.Here are some of my noisy examples: Both are taken under a patio in daylight along with stage lighting. One is taken with the ultra wide lens and the other with the telephoto lens. After looking up the stats on each picture it looks like the ultra wide shot had an ISO of 1000!!! And the telephoto pic has an iso of 800. Those are very high ISOs and of course they will create that kind of noise. Even my DSLR will produce noise at those ISOs. My question is, why is Apple bumping it that high for a scene that isn’t low light. I can understand if it was a dark room with no flash but these are bright scenes. You can see the color and brightness is great! But the noise is unacceptable. Zoom in to the singers skin, hat, and background to really see how bad the noise is. If you can’t see the noise or don’t think it’s bad, I envy you. My photographer-eyes can’t unsee this. And again, I know our phones should not replace a pro camera, I’m just commenting on the fact that these pics are much noisier than my XS and for all the hype surrounding this camera upgrade I expected more.
Wow that middle 11 pro pic is quite noisy. I much prefer the natural balance of your iPhone 7 pic. It’s darker but lends itself to the scene with minimal graininess. The iPhone 11pro pic is too brightened up (hence the noise). The night mode did a slightly better job. Of course, these are darker scenes so some noise is to be expected but I think the processing being done on the 11pro is just over the top. I think part of why they did this is because people in general, people like to see brighter pictures in low light with no motion blur. In order to do that the ISO needs to be higher so the shutter speed can be faster. This will inevitably cause the noise. I would much prefer a lower ISO and slower shutter speed to prevent the noise (which I think was more in line to what the previous models had).iPhone 7

I still plan to get the 11 pro max to replace my 10 xs max. Even though I've shot professionally, my most recent DSLR is the Nikon D800e, I am now retired. I prefer lugging the iPhone around, it has served me well getting outstanding shots from it (with post processing).
I wish the camera provided full manual control as well as output RAW. I much prefer to do my own processing.
No, but I will check it out for sure! Thanks for the tip! I've always used my DSLRs for planned shots and even vacation, but I really just want to carry my iPhone now. I need to experiment with some camera apps.Regarding my pic: the stage lighting gave the subject a very saturated look and I agree, over processed. But not by my doing. But like you said, hey it’s a decent point and shoot. Do you use any third party apps? I’ve been playing around with the Halide app and manually controlling the ISO and shutter speed and outputting RAW and I’m having better results with the noise. I prefer not to do that all the time but it’s always an option if you find yourself wanting that great shot and only an iPhone in your pocket (we’ve all been there right!).
